Why MCONFIG ?

[Al Dykes]

I've administered NT/w2k/XPpro systems for years. Very little
W/98. I've just started to play with XP/home and see that the 98-ish
MSCONFIG utility is there, and it has tabs for
CONFIG.SYS/WIN.INI/SYS.INI, etc that I've litterly never had to play
with since DOS/WIN31 days.

I assume that the the tabs for these files is just a friendly GUI
front end and registry editor.

Is there anything else I should know about msconfig ?
